Shu-zen, the Divine Sentinel Mount, Item Level Squish, NA Arena Cup #1, DLC #620

[Finear]

Excellent!
Now we need a level squish!
Bring it back to 60 or something!

why tho? lvl 120 isn't that different from 60

[deadman1]

So 25$ once vs 6month aka 90$ once?

I don't see the problem

For a sub I'm already paying? Aka free?

UNLUCKY friend.

Also "sub I'm already paying" what does mean? You have already six month covered? If yes -> UNLUCKY
If not -> doesn't change nothing you pay now 6 months instead of subbing each month or 2 months.
If you are paying with gold like me logic presume that you have enough gold to cover so..

Since it is a promotion you aren't forced.

I would like to see a level and XP squish, meaning you would have to complete fewer zones on a continent, but you'd still get to finish a zone's story. Currently you don't get to finish every expansion's questing without hitting max level anyway. This won't fix it, it'll just make leveling easier for new players.

Current:
1-60 Classic
60-70 Outland
70-80 Northrend
80-85 Cataclysm
85-90 Pandaria
90-100 Draenor
100-110 Legion
110-120 BfA

New:
1-30 Classic
30-35 Outland
35-40 Northrend
40-45 Cataclysm
45-50 Pandaria
50-55 Draenor
55-60 Legion
60-70 BfA

The reason Blizzard hasn't reduced the amount of levels, is because they learned from Cataclysm that anything less than 10 levels for a new expansion wasn't satisfying enough. They could keep making new expansions 10 levels, and then half the amount of XP and zones you need by reducing it to 5 levels post-expansion. A year or so after Legion was released you could outlevel the Broken Isles by completing only half of the zones if you had heirlooms and did invasions.

It doubles as a mount and a consumable for them...

These are my reasons for it:
- The psychological aspect. It's just like the rested XP portrayal when wow first came out:
rested XP used to give you 100% exp gain, while not rested gave you 50%. People didn't like that at all, so blizzard changed the text from 50% to 100% and 100% to 200%, without changing anything on the actual XP gain. People stopped complaining after that. 120 seems like a ridiculously high number to grind through. Making it smaller would probably bring same results as the rested XP change.
- Talents & Skills at every level, which makes a level-up more rewarding and therefore more fun.

I sort-of like this idea, but I'd probably have gone with a hybrid.

1-40 Classic
30-40 tBC/WotLK (completely optional)
40-50 Cata/MoP
50-60 WoD/Legion
60-70 BfA

I just like the idea of most levels coming with rewards, and right now we get a lot of levels with no character advancements. That feels bad.

fixed your thought flaw there buddy.
A level squish is just silly and should never happen. People being scared of bigger numbers is just silly.
ANd I personally want to see my toon one day at level 200

[Pickynerd]

6 months is more like $78

More like 50 dollars, or less, in China. 11 a month, but the discount for 3+ months saves something, but I'm not sure how much.

But 6 months during a drought is steep AF if you ask me.

Lmao!!

I love dogs, but that shits funny.

[Dispraise]

I want the dog mount. Why can't I have the dog mount? Give me the dog mount.

I laughed.

[TheDeeGee]

We will be able to buy then Dog Mount years from now, just like the chinese can buy Tyreal's Mount because it was Annual Pass in Europe and US only.

[Kuja]

There will be no new content for 6 months, but if you sub for that time, we'll throw in a doggo mount! Those TCG items seem interesting though

[Aesahaettr]

Are some people really bitching about a drought? It's hardly an unexpected period, and frankly I've still got loads to keep me going.

[Usagi Senshi]

I do love that mount but I already have the excellent Imperial Quillen from the MoP digital deluxe so I'm good.

Ok, that made me LOL hard

[jk1895]

I hate the item squish! 20% crit vs. 5% crit. Yes Bli$$ard take my money. Idiots

[Arvandor]

we ride what we eat..

[Dejo93]

Chow Chow anyone?

[CharrforLife]

The 'DOG' Mount with the 'CAT' moves... common Blizz... you have Wolf mounts, use those moves.

[Deleted]

Fix this into our version aswell,dont care how, just make it happen,! Do i need to buy sub for 6 or 12 month, dont care, im never unsubed anyway.
